S-B Industries recently introduced an innovative new series of tools that easily and conveniently converts standard drill equipment into power riveters. The new RiveDrill™ patented drill attachments fit onto any 3/8" reversible corded or cordless power drill as simply as any standard drill bit, instantly turning the drill into a power blind riveter. Available in three models (the RT120HP for heavy duty blind rivets, RT110 for blind rivets and the NT850 for rivet nuts), the RiveDrill offers many benefits compared to manual riveting tools. For example, the RiveDrill allows an operator to set up to 14 rivets per minute — twice as many rivets or rivet nuts as a manual tool. And since it requires just 6.6 pounds of pressure to operate, compared to 77.2 pounds for hand tool operation, the RiveDrill causes far less stress to the operator’s hand. The RiveDrill is able to set a full range of blind rivets and rivet nuts, and easily expels the rivet mandrel when the drill is operated in the “reverse” mode. For rivet nuts, the threaded screw mandrel is revoked from the fastener by the same method. The one-of-a-kind RiveDrill is portable, lightweight and easy to use, making it the perfect choice for light to medium-duty service in a wide variety of industries, including automotive, small aircraft and boat repair, as well as general facility maintenance and repair. • Drill Types - Cordless, Electric, Pneumatic • Nosepieces included - 8-32, 10-24, 10-32, 1/4-20 • Hex drive - .315" (8mm) • Capabilities - 6-32 thru 10 steel flanged head rivet nuts • Weight - .838 lbs.(380 grams) • Length - 5.90 in.
